Description
Stuart Maconie's Long Road from Jarrow is a poignant and engaging journey through Britain past and present.
In 1936, 200 men from Jarrow marched 300 miles to London in protest against the destruction of their towns and industries. Eighty years on, Maconie retraces this iconic route, tracing the path of the Jarrow Crusade as he travels down the country's spine.
Along the way, he meets those with stories to tell, building a funny, complex and entertaining tale of Britain, then and now. From great cities to sleepy hamlets, quiet lanes to roaring motorways, Maconie visits the diverse landscapes and communities that shape our nation today.
